The purpose of this study is to construct a fuzzy lithology system from well logs to identify formation lithology of a groundwater aquifer system in order to better apply conventional well logging interpretation in hydro-geologic studies because well log responses of aquifers are sometimes different from those of conventional oil and gas reservoirs. The input variables for this system are the g...

3D seismic data acquisition brought a sea change in subsurface imaging. The bridge between geology and seismic is P/S wave velocity of different subsurfaces/lithology. The technique has acquired prime importance due to its inherent strength of determining seismic velocity/amplitudes of the different medium. Lithological variations estimations is possible due to proper Vp/Vs ratio or either velo...

Reservoir characteristics and influences by diagenesis sedimentary environment of the Qingshuihe clastic formation Shinan area, Junggar Basin, are studied in this paper SEM, casting thin sections, X-ray diffraction, combining geology logging well data, providing a theoretical guide for further exploration development. The results show that Formation region interest was developed braided river f...

In the south area of China, there covers thick soil and flourish vegetation on the top of the rocks, so there is little research on lithology analysis by remote sensing in the south area, and there is also no mature methods on this aspect. Three Gorges are the south area which is thickly covered by soil and flourish vegetation and the lithology analysis is very difficult. Three Gorges possess t...

Abstract. In this paper, we consider a multi-lithology diffusion model used in stratigraphic modelling to simulate large scale transport processes of sediments described as a mixture of L lithologies. This model is a simplified one for which the surficial fluxes are proportional to the slope of the topography and to a lithology fraction with unitary diffusion coefficients. The main unknowns of ...

A major geological GIS project: the 1:5 Million International Geological Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas (IGME 5000) is being managed and implemented by the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The aims of the project are to develop for the whole of Europe a GIS underpinned by a geological database, a printed map depicting up-to-date and consistent geological informat...

The Yeoncheon titanomagnetite deposit formed by Precambrian magma differentiation is located in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Our team conducted an airborne magnetic survey for multiscale mineral exploration and then selected a promising area. An electrical resistivity was carried out the potential area to image subsurface structure. Because ore minerals are mainly distributed gabbro monzodiorite r...

In this paper, a novel neural networks based lithology identification approach is proposed. First, the logging curves are squared so that the noise is filtered off. Second, consecutive segments representing similar stratums are merged so that the dimension of inputs is reduced. Third, data sampling from different logging curves are respectively normalized so that the curves of small magnitude a...

[1] Analysis of high resolution Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) data reveals the presence of a prominent Mg‐spinel‐rich lithology in the central peaks of Theophilus crater on the lunar nearside. Other peak‐associated lithologies are comprised of plagioclase, olivine, and pyroxene‐bearingmaterials. A consistent spatial association of Mg‐spinel with mafic‐free anorthosite is recognized.
